Aug 31, 2008 ’1 liter waxed swingtop bottle (BC). Rich, dark coppery color with a multi-finger frothy beige/tan head. Lots of berry aroma, with a little yeast over grain. A deep inhalation gives a berry good impression. Medium plus body with rather creamy carbonation. The flavor has sherry aspects, and more heat than expected for 7.6%. Comes over as more of a wheat wine. Extremely smooth, and the berries contribute to a winey impression. It’s a bit sweet, but not overly so. The berry bitter adds balance. It’s very good ale, and one that comes far closer to a wine or mead than many (in flavor at least).

Aug 28, 2008 1 litre waxed swing top bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a lasting amber head and good lacing. Aromas of wheat, berry fruittiness, light yeast and a hint of plastic. Palate was medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, berries and light yeast with a crisp lingering fruity finish.

Aug 24, 2008 1Liter bottle-pours a big foamy off white head that laces and copper/orange color. Aroma is dry/earthy hops, mild berries, wheat/grainy/medium malt. Nice for a wheat. Taste is sweet berries upfront, then caramel medium malt/wheat/grain. Some alcohol comes through. Dry/earthy/spicy hops (continental and Simcoe?)/fruit/wheat. A well made beer. Not one of my favorite styles, but quite enjoyable. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours a reddish brown with a nice white head. Aroma fo berries, malt, and not much else. Flavor is malts, berries.........very subtle but natural berry flavors. Fruit is nice, but not very strong. For the price, i’d rather have new glarus. Still glad to try it.

Aug 17, 2008 Courtesy of Rustychiles. Pours a beautiful ruby red color with a subdued white head. Fruit aromas are surprisingly reserved for being a "triple-berry wheat." Tastes are similarly subdued. Very light hints of berries, though never enough to allow me to identify individual kinds of berries. Wish would have had more berry flavor, more definitive of a taste.

Aug 7, 2008 So not sure why everyone is bashin’ this beer. Interesting; never had a huckleberry, blueberry, and marionberry infused beer before. Fiery tangerine in color with a frothy eggshell head. Aroma is sticky and sweet...freshly made jam and maple syrup. Would be good on pancakes!!! Tasty...a bit sugary but enjoyable.

Jul 9, 2008 Note: wax on a swing top bottle looks nice but = major pain in the A** to open. Bottled May 8, 2008. Lightly hazed orange umber color. Very tall lasting dark cream colored head. Quite fruity in aroma. I’m actually detecting fruit loops, with what ever grain is used and the pseudo sweet chemical fruit scent. I’m catching some evergreen and herbal hops as well. Sweet wheat and malt flavors with just a hint of fermented berries. A bit like the berry wines my grandmother used to make. Quite bubbly and a touch syrupy. Things just don’t seem to come together in this one. A bit of a mess. A decent fruity malt liquor is the best description I can come up with.

Jun 10, 2008 NABA 08’: Pours a muddy purple brown color, nice head and lacing. Nose of light fruity berry, some wheat and a touch of wheat. The maltiness is solid and there’s an underlying fruitiness. It just doesn’t seem to come together or really express any specific idea with great enthusiasm. Decent body though.
